Beckham would only be a good signing for financial reasons.

Beckham would only be a good signing for financial reasons.

I don't know, he can pick out a pass and cross a ball which makes him a damn sight better than any of our other wingers.

[Offshore Toon 0]

Well, I suppose you could do a lot worse than an England international. I don't think he'd be able to hold down a place after this season, though.

[David Kelly 1280]

Depends who the competition is. If it's Milner I don't think he would have any problems at all unless Beckham could teach him to pass and cross.

bollocks man. he'd take milner's place in a flash and would probably provide over half of our assists if he did sign. we don't have anyone in the same league when it comes to delivery from wide areas and set pieces.

[Big TRon 0]

Beckhams delivery is class, but we would need to inject pace into other areas of our attack, because too many of our players are lacking it. Milner being one.

[spongebob toonpants 4183]

I would be all for it, if only for how even more bitter the press would become.

 

it would certainly raise our profile abroad and might make us a more likely destination for transfer targets

[Offshore Toon 0]

Defenders wouldn't have a problem with him on the wing. He isn't a great dribbler and he doesn't have much pace.

 

I'd prefer to see him in the middle.
